2. Installation instructions
SAFETY NOTICE
: Read carefully all instructions
before starting the installation. If the stove is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. For your
safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local
building or fire officials about restrictions and
installation inspection in your area.
2.1. Position of the unit
-
The position of the appliance must be chosen very
carefully in order to obtain the best possible results for
heat distribution.
-
Position the unit to comply with the minimum
clearances to combustible material. Minimum
clearances are shown from the vertical portion of the
chimney connector. Check that no overhead cross
members in the ceiling will be cut. Reposition unit if
necessary, being careful not to move closer than the
minimum clearances.
-
Outside air : For the oil stove to function properly, an
adequate supply of combustion air is required.
2.2. Chimney
-
Ensure that the flue has sufficient draught (refer to
technical details).
-
Minimum flue diameter, 10 cm (4" I.D).
-
The chimney must be at least 4.5 m (15 ft high).
-
The flue must not be shared with any other appliance.
-
Downdraughts caused by obstacles close to the
chimney top may sometimes be prevented by fitting an
anti-downdraught cap to the top of the chimney.
-
The chimney must have a constant cross section. Too
large a flue could affect the chimney draught.
-
The chimney must be soundly constructed, in order to
prevent cold air infiltration.
-
The flue must be well insulated, water and air tight. A
chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a
good chimney draught and condensation will occur.
-
The flue must be swept at least once a year.
2.3. External tank
A barometric fuel tank should not be positionned where
it will be in the direct rays of the sun or adjacent to a
source of intense heat.
If the tank is more than 8 ft (2,5 m) higher than the stove
a pressure reducer must be installed on the oil line.
If the tank is lower than the stove a lift pump will have to
be utilized.
A clearance of 6 “ (15 cm) must be maintained between
the external/remote tank and the stove.
